Origin
The Kent Farm was settled in 1871 by Nathaniel Kent, son of Silas and Abigail Kent.  Nathaniel and his wife, Mary Glenowen, built the original two-room farmhouse from walnut logs harvested on the land.

Nathaniel Kent served as one of Smallville's first sheriffs.  With the success of the fertile mid-western soil and a larger family, the Kents built a new home closer to the dirt road leading into town in 1903.  Indoor bathroom facilities and additional rooms were added in 1938, and in 1957 a second story was built.

After returning from a foreign war, Jonathan Kent married Martha Clark and settled down on his family farm to a normal life, until fate would intervene, when the couple discovered a strange alien craft carrying an infant who would grow with their guidance to become the hero known as Superman.
